Abstract
A facsimile device (also called a fax machine), having programmable autodial capabilities, which automatically generates legible telephone directory labels. The fax machine of the present invention has a window for displaying the telephone directory label and a memory for storing programmed telephone numbers and names. The fax machine also has a port which is connected to a printer. To automatically generate the telephone directory label, the fax machine accesses the memory for the programmed telephone numbers and names. Then, the fax machine causes the printer to print the telephone directory label by sending commands and the programmed telephone numbers and names to the printer.
